Strawberry Thumbprints

I give these cookies 2 thumbs up!! hehe 😉

They are my absolute favorite 🙂 Why? Growing up, my mom would let me help her make these and we would have so much fun! I also love jam and how festive they look around this time of year. They can really light up a plate. I was very happy to revise a simple recipe and make it vegan. Best of all, I can’t taste the difference at all. Yeee!

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups of Almond Flour
1/2 cup of Earth Balance Butter
6 T of Maple Syrup
Strawberry Jam or any you like (local is best)

Directions:
Yields: ~18 cookies

Mix all ingredients in a bowl (except jam) until combined well. If when combined you notice that the consistency is too wet, add 1/4c more of almond flour
Shape the dough into a ball and cover with plastic
Let dough chill overnight in refrigerator
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Line cookie sheet with parchment paper
Use a Tablespoon to form balls and make a thumbprint in the center of each cookie
Place into oven for 5 minutes then take out and add a small spoon of jam into the thumbprint; careful you don’t burn yourself
Place into oven or another 5 minutes.
Remove from cookie sheet and transfer to cooling rack
Prior to serving, you may sprinkle a lil powdered sugar on top…it makes them look nice and pretty 🙂
